Does coaching matter anymore now that Lue 'Coached' a title?

[ChrisKreager]

If Tyronn Lue can win an NBA championship, then it's official- you don't even need to be a competent or average coach to win in the NBA.

He is nothing more than LeBrons's coffee bitch, a figurehead 'Coach' who only got the job because the players cowardly quit on a decent man in Blatt.

A fire hydrant could have coached these Cavs in games 5-7 and won the title.

Lebron is a hell of a GM. He didn't do a bad job coaching now that I think of it.

[HeyMarkus]

Funny considering the Warriors were out coached as the series progressed.

[bigkingsfan]

He was an assistant for seven years. Not like he came out of nowhere.

Coaching is not a big deal . Just build the team very well and relax .

I watched too many games in history ( most of before Stern ) , Red Auerbach had great system , pressure and double/triple on ball sided field and put Russell in the center as keeper . And Phil Jackson had great sets , really great . Just watch Paxson's 3 against Suns .

I don't think showtime LA's greatness was about Riley . And i didn't see any margin on the court from coaches , beside of above two .

It's a player's league and always has been.

Draft or acquire a player like Lebron, Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, Dirk, Curry, Wade, etc., and put a decent squad around him and you're generally good to go.

I mean Avery Johnson "took his team to the Finals" one year, depending on how you look at it. Same for a bunch of other average coaches.

Basketball's too basic to rely heavily on coaching. Their people skills are often more important.

[Just2McFly]

Coaching can change everything, Lue made so many adjustments over the past three months.

[Lebron23]

He made some adjustments in the last 4 games of the NBA Finals. And some of the best coaches in the NBA are former starting point guards in the NBA.

Lue is also a better player than Kerr at his peak.

[FKAri]

And Lue's adjustments in-game as well as between games was quite good actually.

If any moron like Steve Kerr can coach a team to the Finals you mean...
